Ezekiel 25:17
I can no longer count the number of times I have watched Pulp Fiction.
If a film, a work of art, could be a Soul Animal, it would be me and Pulp Fiction.
When I watched it religiously (which is ironic because I was in my religious/believer/bible college days) the part that always stuck with me was a monologue that Samuel L. Jackson delivers where, according to the script, Jules (Jackson’s enforcer character in the film) is a quote of a bible verse. Specifically Ezekiel 25:17 which in the script reads:
The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee.
Unfortunately, the actual verse is much more lame so I’ll stick with the Apostle Quentin on this one.
It’s starting to look like I will end up casting a wider net. That’s biblical, right?
So that makes it ok.
Because its biblical.
